Lower 48 Climate Anomalies

2008 at a Glance

It has been quite a year so far for the lower 48. Midwestern Floods in June and this month as a result of Hurricane Ike were the largest since 1993: which was supposed to be the “100 year flood”. I guess they need to revise that entire concept within the context of climate change.

Meanwhile, California is in the midst of a drought that threatens water supplies for the state and created ideal conditions for the ridiculous number of fires in late spring…extremely early for fires to be blazing in the state.
